Great video Stef, can't wait to see what places you'll be visiting in Singapore, It's such a place.

Great video. I love how relaxed you are in your vids. Also at 7:50 I have always done the same thing too!

My worst nightmare on a plane is being stuck near a strongly perfumed person. It's such an invasion of my personal space because there's no escape! I'd love to tell them to bathe more frequently so that they wouldn't need to cover up odors with vile perfume.

Nice video Stef, I love the look of the 787 and I'll be having my first experience of here as I take the 'international' flight from Perth to Melbourne on a Qantas 787-9. Very much looking forward to that!

Great. Review as usual.....and so quick!

You've just reminded me how much I hate flying, whereas train travel is a joy!

Never had any luck with the Jetstar service Stefan. Always way overcrowded at the gates, congrats on the endorsed vlog.

I walked around a Qantas 380 one day because I had to get out of my seat . The 3 seats in front all came back as soon as they finished there meals & stayed there until they were forced by cabin crew to put them back up. I had a back problem so I was in agony by the end of the flight . I figured walking around the plane that about 30% of passengers wound their seat right back . I paid for my seat too like you said . The guy in front about 5ft 10in was raving what a comfortable flight he had but didn’t mention it was .at my expense.

Query - do non Qantas oneworld status passengers get lounge access when flying Jetstar? Thought it was just Qantas FFs but not oneworld FFs as JQ isn't part of oneworld. You suggest they do but can you please clarify. thanks

Thanks for the tip at the start, I live in the Brighton area, so it takes forever to get to the airport.

Stefan you are a top class retiever .

Also is there anyway to keep your leg elevated in Jetstar business class cos we only got it cos the hospital advised it

First ten seconds are so relatable

yes because we need more plastic in landfill or our seas.

Not going to hate on JQ as their price point is super competitive, but really feel this would be more honestly sold as a premium economy than true business class on a 787. If they did this I suspect they'd routine get more trade too as a lot of people without tons of FF points (especially those flying JQ, who are typically going to be much more price sensitive) won't even bother looking at J fares as they'll just assume they're unaffordable for longer flights. Plus, as a premium economy product, it would rank *really* well rather than being a not great business one.

Are you still in Singapore?? Because I am in Singapore and flew through Singapore on the 12th of Jan 2019 ??

ok video, I would have liked to see more about in the seat, that is the jacks used for earphones, can you plug in your Ipad or phone and watch your own movie on the sceen in the seat? stuff like that.

Pet peeves on an aircraft? As an operating crew member,passengers generally Stefan.Not listening to the safety demo,talking on mobiles or working on laptops having been asked multiple times to stop & put them away pre take off or landing.But then as crew we see things differently 😉

@StefanDrury

5 жыл бұрын

As a pilot I’d have to agree. When I see people with headphones in during the safety briefing, or just chatting to another passenger, or staring out the window, I often wonder how much of a hindrance they’d be in an emergency situation. This is why we have pax who carry bags in an evacuation, or inflate life jackets inside the aircraft.

In Flight Entertainment any good?

I reckon the only reason this business class exists is for flights from cairns and the gold coast to japan. So the gold coast has a "business" class option

That would be like comparing Qantas Economy class to Jetstar economy class. Of course the seat pitch is going to be tighter on a LCC such as Jetstar , as compared to a legacy airline like Qantas .

I would prefer Qantas economy class. That is not a business class at all, more than economy class but less than premium economy.

Is it me or is Jacqui always happy and smiling ?

Those amenity kits should come with small towels for the inevitable spillage... (I've done that, too). At least it was water and not a juice or other drink... BTW, I chuckled that you and your daughter shared the same exasperation in Duty Free...

I live in Melbourne so I know everything about the airport and it’s got bad traffic a lot

I've only been able to compare Jetstar and Qantas Domestically, but for me Jetstar is below sub par. Even out done by Rex. How do you compare the pair Stef?

Based on the comments I’m going to shoot a full “review” video on Jetstar after our return flight. But so far, I honestly think there’s a lot that could change.

Pet peeves, definitely reclining on a day flight. Plus those who, on boarding fiddle about with their bags in the overhead locker causing a traffic jam. Have separate must haves for the flight in a small separate bag to put under the seat in front. No hold ups then.

Hmm. Re your ref, as I understand, to QF tier credits not being earnable on Jetstar. I need one extra flight to retain QF Gold, so I recently contacted Qantas by phone and was told that a Jetstar flight would qualify. I'd better re-check.

You can buy the “max bundle” with Jetstar which will earn your QFF status credits. But we booked the base rate which didn’t. Not sure if you can add the max bundle after booking so check that for sure.

Oh god I have sooo many pet peeves on planes. Reclining seats right after takeoff annoys me but at least they’re usually consistent, I was on an Emirates plane the other day and someone did that but then put it forward and back and forward and back heaps of times when I was watching a film. Also loud people, there were these Chinese people next to us who obviously couldn’t speak English so yelled at each other during the safety video 😤 but I’ve never come into contact with people walking around with no shoes or socks and hopefully I never will.

Great video.....but where was the verdict. Would you pay the double and go Qantas ???? To me, I would pay the premium and go Qantas (or stick to Qantas economy if couldn't afford and give Jetstar the wide berth )

Looked like a pretty good flight and could not agree more re seat recline...I usually use my knees to constantly hit the rear of the seat in front! Annoys the crap out of the recliner!! Once on a flight from Rio to Santiago the man in front reclined his seat straight after take off and I was literally wedged into the seat. I asked him in a very polite manner to raise it so I could get out of the seat and he refused. So for the next 4 hours I just kept pushing my knees into the seat and after a while he gave up and returned it to the normal position. UUghh!! Looking forward to your onward journey and I take it the Silver shoes are not yours we saw in Melbourne ?

I hear you Craig, it’s really selfish I find. Unless there’s nobody behind me I honestly find it hard to recline a seat on an airplane. For someone to whack the button and slam into your lap as the aircraft is barely airborne, is such a selfish act. And ha, yep, that’s my daughter who has better airport style than me these days. Wish they made those shoes in my size!

I dislike it when the person in front reclines on a short domestic flight. Thanks for the insight into JQ international Business Class.

I feel like it would be a much better comparison to compare Qantas premium economy fares to Jetstar 'business' Class tbh. I'd hate to see what their economy is like haha

The room is SO limited that I cannot open my laptop when the seat is fully required. 8-(

my pet peeves is when people shot and talk in a economy flight and when the seat is not relaxing

There is a big difference between Air New Zealand and Jetstar. In NZ you fly Air NZ so you have lounge access, great service and will arrive on time. Domestically Jetstar are terrible.

I know this is mostly for a video but people go on Jetstar because it’s cheap! If you can afford business class go on a decent airline!

When someone reclines into me and I'm either a) eating b) using the in-flight entertainment (Jetstar doesn't have a swivel one like virgin) or c) they are like 4 to 5 foot tall, I'm 5 9 or 5 10 and if a 4 11 gremlin thinks they need more room than me I'm Gonna pull my big DSLR out and be as loud as Logan Paul the whole flight

I love Qantas and am a FF with them, I also have Gold Status with VA, but I CAN NOT, CAN NOT stomach Jetstar. I just can’t bring myself to fly with them. I use a wheelchair. I’m quite capable, I am a specialist in the health sector, I’m studying for my PPL, I’m able to manage quite well, BUT: I’ve been denied travel by Jetstar on 3 separate occasions because I need to bring my wheelchair with me. On the couple of occasions I have been able to get the flight I needed, the disrespect has been immense! I shall never set foot on one of their aircraft as long as I live, whatever the price difference. Nothing is worth the humiliation and stress they bring on, for no reason whatsoever.

At the moment they're a bit shortened which is more like the Kiwi accent but you can easily tell they're opening up to be stressed vowels which are very Australian!
